On August 17, Amkor Technology rose 5.48% in regular trading, trading at $61.8248/share, with turnover of $46.06 million.
On the news front, according to people familiar with the matter, Amkor Technology is considering strategic options for its China business, including selling a portion of its equity stake. The company has reportedly hired an adviser to prepare a possible stake sale and gauge interest among potential buyers, which may include Asian investment firms and industry players. Amkor is expected to retain a minority stake, with the China business valued at approximately $1 billion to $1.5 billion overall. The move signals Amkor joining a broader trend of multinational companies reassessing their China operations.
Separately, Amkor recently entered a multi-year strategic partnership with Nvidia worth $1.5 billion to develop advanced semiconductor packaging and test technologies, which drove shares up over 12% in after-hours trading in late July. The combination of the Nvidia deal and potential China asset monetization has supported continued investor interest in the stock.
